Williams, who was in charge of T&T when Narine made his first-class debut in 2009, said that the offspinner must continue to work hard to avoid being picked by batsmen around the world. "He has got to develop variations," Williams told Trinidad and Tobago Newsday. "In international cricket batsmen will work you out so you can fade away if you don't do that and that is what happened to Mendis. Narine is too smart for that to happen to him, though, but the first two years of his career will be a dream start."

Mendis had a sensational debut Test series, against India in 2008, with a record 26 wickets but failed to live up to his promise and is no longer a permanent fixture in the Sri Lanka squad.

Narine played an important part in Kolkata Knight Riders' title-winning IPL campaign this season by picking up 24 wickets from 15 matches at an economy-rate of 5.47 - a tally that earned him the Man-of-the-Series award.

"It's nice to see him doing so well," Williams said. "He is one who has been dedicated towards the development of his cricket. He always had my utmost respect because he was so determined to get to the top. He works extremely hard and is always trying to develop new things."

However, Williams said the West Indies selectors must not rush Narine into the squad for the third Test against England, which begins in Birmingham on June 7. "He has proved himself in all the other versions of the game and the next step is Tests. I think he will do well because he is so difficult to read," Williams said. "I don't think he should be rushed in. He will be up there for the ODI series (which starts on June 16) and I think he has made himself unavailable for the Tests. He should be in the Test team against New Zealand."

Mendis faded because his open grip bowling was easily visible making batsmen read it. Narine does a nice magic in the form of back finger flicking effectively making him the most mysterious bowler ever. As for Lanka, hopefully Sachithra Senanayake will be the next best off spinner in the post Murali era. Rangana Herath will likely last only another 3 more years.

From my experience of watching cricket, only the ones who have their basics right will survive. Narine is yet to play a test match. If he plays one full test series against a top quality side the mystery will be unveiled. But if he can stick to the basics of off spin which is flight and deception and add his variations as something extra, then he will be successful for sure. The best spinner in the world right now, Swann, doesn't have any mystery balls with him and is still very successful in all forms of the game. Hope Narine relies more on deception and discipline than his mystery and I am sure he will.

Going from what I have seen to date Narine is something special. No doubt the replay crew will workout his tricks but on the evidence to date even the best indian players of spin werent too confident with Narine. Doesnt mean that will stay the same much like SL shy away from playing Mendis against Ind. The point is Narina faces the same challenge as any bowler. You need to stay ahead of the game to ensure long term success.

the IPL final showed that Narine is not all that mysterious after all. In fact, bowlers like Narine, Mendis & Ashwin are effective as long as batsmen try to attack them. Its quite evident from stats that neither Ashwin nor Mendis have been quite as successful in Tests as they have been in T20s. So Narine should strive for consistency like Swann & Murali rather than using 6 different variations in an over

Sachin_is_da_best,
You seem to think Narine was lucky in 15 matches and getting hit for 2 sixes and a flukey four makes him worse than Balagi.Raina was swinging his bat whatever came his way so I say he was the lucky one,you also seem to forget that CSK spinners also got blasted all over Chenai.I also believe that the wicket was prepared to stop Narine,it also stopped Ashwin and Jakati so they must also be worse than Balagi.Gambir also used Narine badly by bringing him on after the 4th over when the score was just about 30,that over could have been saved for later when Raina wasn't in such attacking mood.Also although Raina hit Narine,Narine made him look silly when he swiped at him and missed a few times,so putting Narine away for 2 boundries in an over does not make Balaji a better bowler,furthermore Balaji is a medium fast bowler so you cant compare them.

Commets saying Mendis hasn't faded is ludicrous. Yes he is injured, but even if he is not, he will not be the first pick Test bowler for even Sri Lanka. Narine looks a much better bowler, although agreed it's too early to tell how good he will be. To label him a future Murali is insane at this point, but he looks to be better than Mendis and Ashwin were in the sense his stock delivery has a lot more spite and substance.

I don't believe Mendis has 'faded', so much as not been given a chance after his initial success, also unlucky with injuries. He was bowling really well in the world cup and then whoever selected the team for the final had a brain freeze and put in Randiv instead because they got paranoid about the Indians playing him well. Why not play him and let him evolve along with the batsmen figuring him out?

I disagree, it was too many variations that sank Mendis. He bowled the off break, arm ball, doosra, slider (or teesra if you insist on giving an old ball a new name) and a couple of different types of carrom balls. He didn't develop his stock delivery well.

Look at the best off spinners in recent years. Players like Swann, Vettori and Lyon who use only an off break and a couple of different straight ones. then you have the Muralis and Ajmals who also throw in the doosra to the mix.

You don't need a million variations, just a couple with a good stock ball.

POSTED BY
on | May 29, 2012, 13:09 GMT

Mendis didn't fade because of a lack of new variations. The priority for Narine should be to keep his stock off break potent. Ashwin is in the same boat. For all the talk of his variations, his stock ball isn't that great. Narine will also have to learn to bowl on harder faster wickets. Shillingford got found out at Trent Bridge after getting so much success on rubbishy WI tracks. Narine would find Trent Bridge a challenge too.

@ Jawad Shaikh - got to know from your comments that you were sleeping all the time when Narine was doing his magic against Australia in the one day series. I am of the opinion that WI should not play him in tests until the T20 world cup as there is a chance of him getting demystified. He must work hard on his stock delivery which is the regular off-spinner (flight,drift & turn) for a sustained consistent performance in international cricket.He's a great talent no doubt about that.

POSTED BY

Narine is a better bowler. I saw him getting tendulkar bowled, even tendulkar or many top class players were not able to read him. But these batsmen are very smart. All the batsmen used to go through the vidoeo of evry bowler before a series. But if you want to survive in international crickket you have to develop some variations, should be able to read the batsman before each and every delivery, you should use your interligence and should take care of your fitness. This is where mendis fail. But class is permanent mendis will come back.

Sunil Narine is very different from Mendis in the way that he turns the ball appreciably. Mendis when compared gets limited turn which means the batsmen can and has hit him thro the line or square and that has been his problem. He has to prove himself in the longer version of the game but he has done well in the few matched he has played for WI.

His normal delivery was always a over pitch and whenever he bowled it, he was punished.. Among the mystery spinners, Ashwin is far better than Mendis in terms of having a stock delivery and using variations at appropriate times..

Indian media does create a lot of hype around such things. Poor R.Ashwin was touted as next big thing and only got ended up being hammered in Asia cup against Pakistan. He is just an ordinary bowler.Mendis picked up 26 wickets against India as apart from Dravid and Lax, all other Indian batsmen are useless players of spin bowling.
